Clean Computer

[newfile]

I have an old laptop (early pentium) which I want to pass on to someone else. However I want to ensure that none of the data on the hard drive can be recovered. Is it possible to be sure of clearing all documents without removing the operating system and if so how?

thanks

Live Long and Prosper
